Rascal Flatts Gets Back To Touring with Bandit Lites

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – Rascal Flatts kicked off their BACK TO US TOUR this June with Dan + Shay and Carly Pearce, bringing their 17 career No. Ones to audiences around the country. Bandit Lites is thrilled to once again be providing the lighting package for the GRAMMY-award winning trio, who recently wrapped a successful sold out residency in Las Vegas and released their tenth studio album, Back to Us.

“The B-EYE is extremely versatile,” Knighton said of the fixture choices. “It is like thirty-six fixtures in one, and bringing a theatre set out of the “black box” environment and illuminating it in the “real world” can be a challenge; that’s why one needs horsepower with their fixtures.”

“The GLP products add a staccato/strobe feel quite often and sometimes almost every note played has a lighting “bump” accompanying,” Schwartz added.

Bandit’s crew on Rascal Flatts consists of Nikki Dotson, Elizabeth Weller and Brenna Rae, whose dedication and expertise stood out to both Knighton and Schwartz.

“Bandit personnel always are the key factor in a touring situation,” said Knighton. “Bandit personnel are always prepared for any of the situations that come up.”

“Over the many years I’ve worked with Bandit, I’ve always been impressed with the professionalism of the personnel and the outstanding condition of the equipment,” finished Schwartz. “Dealing with Mike Golden has always been straightforward and stress free; never a complaint from me.”

“Jay Schwartz brought the Rascal Flatts production to the Hennessy Programming and Rehearsal venue and I was immediately taken aback by the all star team he has built to tour this show,” said Bandit Vice President Mike Golden. “After taking a year away from touring, they are hitting it hard with a very impressive show and we are very pleased to be a part of this tour.”
